OH&S and Safety Alerts

In Victoria, workers are protected by their union and also the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Together they form an effective means of support for ETU members when dealing with health and safety matters. The ETU, in conjunction with the Victorian Trades Hall and the ACTU, has access to current information on every health and safety matter.

By contacting the ETU, we can provide members with up-to-date accurate material that will assist you in dealing with issues at your workplace.

The ETU provides advice on current procedures to follow when dealing with OHS matters, however, the most important thing to remember is that – IF IT IS UNSAFE, DON’T DO IT.

All the words in the world cannot replace these when considering your safety. No one can force any worker to work in an unsafe manner.
